"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I get the idea of hating this, but there's really absolutely nothing revolutionary about this. Being "undercover" is as trivial as "commit this, do not mention AI".
In the end, at least with code, it's the actual resulting quality that is the main determinant of what should be accepted or not.
You sound like someone who hasn’t had to waste countless hours of their life wading through bullshit merge request spam.
Not trying to be glib, but I don't think you do get the idea of hating this.
So... you think ignoring the rules set by others is allowed if you can bypass them? Because it really does tell much if a repo states it does not want AI generated code, but Claude hides the fact.
I feel like you’re responding to a person who doesn’t understand consent is about saying yes not about saying no
I'm generally anti CLA in open-source as the license etc are self explanatory but it's things like this that make me question that stance.
I think a proven best effort is still worth pursuing, even if you have bad actors either trying to just pad their C.V. or outright poison OSS code licensing, because I don't know, they just hate forests
